Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 236 Two deer penises, highly nourishing!

Gu Yanci had an unexpected meeting today, so he picked up Wen Yan after get off work.

Madam Gu was overjoyed upon hearing the news. She didn't even invite the two of them to stay for dinner. When she saw her beloved grandson off with a smile, she specially asked the servant to fetch a box of exquisitely packaged tonics for Gu Yanci.

"We don't lack these things at home." Gu Yanci didn't want to take them.

"Take it, take it! You need it!" Old Madam Gu said with a meaningful look.

Gu Yanci had a bad feeling. He opened the gift box and immediately said, "..."

Gu Yanci didn't waste any more words with the old lady and pulled his wife into the car.

"What did Grandma give you?" In the past, when she came back, Old Madam Gu would always give her things, but never Gu Yanci, so Wen Yan couldn't help but be curious.

Gu Yanci handed the gift box to Wen Yan from the back seat.

Wen Yan opened it and stared in shock—it contained two deer penises!

A great tonic for men!

The old lady is too blunt and reckless!

“The old lady thinks I need it,” Gu Yanci said.

Wen Yan tossed her things far away in the back seat: "No, you don't need them."

A smile flickered in Gu Yanci's eyes. After a few seconds, he asked, "What's wrong? You don't seem very happy."

Although Wen Yan had just spoken to him, Gu Yanci keenly sensed that she was in low spirits.

What came to Wen Yan's mind were Nan Zhiyi's seemingly plausible but ultimately meaningless words.

She didn't completely believe Nan Zhiyi's words, but based on her interactions and understanding of Nan Zhiyi over this period of time, she knew that Nan Zhiyi was a very aloof person who wouldn't speak without reason. The fact that he dared to say such things so confidently indicated that he had something to rely on.

The only person who could provide Nan Zhiyi with this information was Ji Chang!

Ji Chang once said in a frenzy: Wen Yan, Gu Yanci wants to take everything from my brother!

They steal everything.

Including her!

Wen Yan didn't understand what Ji Chang meant at the time, nor did she care, because Ji Chang looked like a madwoman.

However, Nan Zhiyi's words today were like a wake-up call for her, and a guess suddenly appeared in her mind—Gu Jingzhou!

Ji Chang mentioned Gu Jingzhou, and Nan Zhiyi also mentioned Gu Jingzhou. And the most important contact between her and Gu Yanci is Gu Jingzhou!

Wen Yan recalled that before Jiang Huaixu appeared, Gu Yanci had had many inexplicable arguments with her because of Gu Jingzhou.

If Gu Jingzhou were still alive, would you marry me?

All of this seemed to point in a direction she was unwilling to guess or believe.

"Did someone bully you?" Gu Yanci had tasted sweetness a couple of days ago and even heard Wen Yan say "I love you," so he was extremely patient these past two days.

Wen Yan looked at him, scrutinizing his face, which bore a six or seven-point resemblance to Gu Jingzhou.

Actually, she wasn't sure if Gu Yanci and Gu Jingzhou were that similar, because Gu Jingzhou had been dead for nearly five years.

"No." Wen Yan shook her head. She paused, looked in the direction of the cemetery, and said, "Gu Yanci, I miss Brother Jingzhou a little."

If Jingzhou were still alive, these questions wouldn't exist.

Gu Yanci's previously gentle expression immediately turned cold.

He seemed not to hear Wen Yan's words, started the Maybach, and drove towards Longyu Bay.

"Gu Yanci," Wen Yan said softly, "you once asked me if I would marry you if Brother Jingzhou were still alive. Did your marriage to me have anything to do with Brother Jingzhou?"

The Maybach suddenly slowed down, and the abrupt braking caused Wen Yan's body to lean forward rapidly, only to be pulled back by the seatbelt. The piercing sound of the sudden braking was painful to the eardrums.

Gu Yanci stared blankly ahead, and after two seconds, restarted the car.
